Prigozhin is sick with a soul

Everything you need to know early in the morning of October 6

Good morning!

The Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded by the Americans Caroline Bertozzi and Barry Sharples, as well as the Danish Morten Meldal "for the development of click-chemistry and bioortiononal chemistry." For Sharples, this is the second Nobel Prize. What is the essence of their discoveries is explained here , and the new clicks today are the following:

• The head of the Luhansk region, Sergei Gaidai, announced the liberation of six settlements in the Luhansk region, but did not give names.
• In the liberated territories of Ukraine, mass graves and torture basements continue to find.
• Putin completed the formal procedure for the annexation of four regions of Ukraine and transferred the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant to the balance of Rosatom. The head of the Magate goes to Kyiv.
• For two weeks of mobilization in 53 regions of Russia, 213 thousand people fell under the call. Accordingly, the total number of mobilized ones is even higher.
• The first criminal case of evasion of mobilization was opened - under an article that applies only to conscripts.
• In different regions of Russia, searches were held with Voice activists.
• OPEC+ countries agreed to reduce oil production, but not as much as expected earlier.

Military reports

The attack of the Ukrainian army continues, although the details are not disclosed - except that the President of Ukraine called three more liberated villages in the Kherson region, and the head of the Luhansk region, Sergei Gaidai, announced the liberation of six settlements in his region, but refused to give the name. A little more details were given in an interview with the present time, a soldier of the 1st special forces brigade of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces Tarasovets: according to him, the offensive goes towards Svatov, and his success is also ensured by the fact that in the Liman of the Ukrainian army they managed to capture Russian ammunition depots and thereby ensure his fire superiority. Here is the current map of hostilities from the BBC.

Here, the reasons for the rapid retreat of Russians are commented on by the expert Conflict Intelligence Team Kirill Mikhailov (spoiler: in the Kherson region there are not enough equipment and ammunition, and in Lugansk people). The Israeli military expert David Gandelman believes that the liberation of the Kherson region is more important than taking Svatovo, but explains the activity of the Armed Forces in the East by reluctance to take Bakhmut of the Donetsk region, which has been storming the “Wagnerians” for several months - this is a video report from this bead. The American Institute for the Study of the War believes that the war on two fronts only increases the chances of Ukrainians to success.

On Wednesday, journalists were first launched in the freshly consistent Liman of Donetsk region. Here is the BBC report , here are the impressions of the correspondent of the present. Photos of the destroyed city are also published in social networks of the President of Ukraine. More than 50 burials of civilians who died during the occupation have already found in the estuary.

In the morning on Wednesday, the Russian army inflicted a missile blow in the vicinity of Zaporozhye and fired at the village of Nikopol district of the Dnipropetrovsk region. On Thursday night, the Iranian drone Kamikadze hit Kharkov. For days earlier the same drone hit the White Church near Kiev - the goal was the military unit, here is a report from a place . On Thursday morning, Russia struck by Zaporozhye's seven missiles - whole porches of high -rise buildings were destroyed, people are under the rubble, there are no details yet.

Annexation and occupation

Putin completed the formal procedure for the annexation of the four regions of Ukraine, approved the ratification of agreements on their “adoption to the Russian Federation”, signing the laws on the annexation of these territories (this will again change the Russian Constitution) and appointing the “acting” of the heads of these regions, all the same Pushilin, Pasechnik, Balitsky and Saldo. (It is supposed, apparently, that on the next single voting day in these land devastated by the war, Russian elections will be held, in which citizens will “elect” these figures by governors.)

In addition, Putin instructed to transfer all objects of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant to Russia. The Ukrainian employees of ZAES are threatened by sending to the front for refusing to move to Rosatom. The general director of the Ukrainian state-owned company "Energoatom" Peter Kotin told the employees that he was taking the leadership of the station: all technical issues, he said, will continue to be resolved in Kiev. According to the IAEA , the fifth power unit for the production of steam and heat for the needs of the station is being prepared to restart the ZAES. The head of the Magate Rafael Grossy flies to Kiev to discuss the situation.

In the village of Peski-Radkovsky, the Kharkiv region recently liberated by the Ukrainian army, a torture was discovered , where people were buried alive and tortured a gas mask with a smoldering rag. There were also found phallimitators and a plastic container filled with torn dental crowns and prostheses. The teeth in the container are evolved by terrible historical associations, but Bild reporters seemed to be the most gloomy suspicions: the local dentist says that this container was stolen from his office - he had folded outless crowns and prostheses of his patients for years.

Residents of Kherson, Mariupol and Melitopol tell about the oddities of life in the still occupied territories of Ukraine. Many of the Ukrainians who fled from under the occupation are now crowding at the border crossings in the Leningrad and Pskov regions- these are their stories . The lines are consciously created by the FSB through the “filtration” procedure, the Russians pass the border without delay; Volunteers talk about cases of deaths in queues, but this information is not confirmed. The Crimean Tatars, who managed to get to Kazakhstan from the annexed Crimea, massively draw up Ukrainian passports or extend the existing ones - this is done to avoid mobilization announced in Russia, hiding abroad.

The war has been going on for so long that people are starting to share their memories: here is the story of Tatyana from the Nikolaev region about how she miraculously survived after the blows of Russian helicopters at the village house - the projectile fell 15 meters from it.

Chronicles of mobilization

According to the estimates of “important stories” and volunteers Conflict Intelligence Team , at least 213.2 thousand people have already mobilized in 53 regions of Russia. There are no information from the remaining 32 regions, but it is logical to assume that someone was put under the gun there. Accordingly, the 300 thousand declared Shoigu should already be scored. Recruitment is uneven, the main blow was again accepted by poor and remote regions, where most coffins came to mobilization.

In mobilization from the very beginning, everything went wrong : there is nowhere to place and no one to teach. Every day someone parted with life without reaching the front: in Penza, a 41-year-old mobilized died during the exercises-presumably from a heart attack (and this is already the 11th of the famous deaths). Here is an overview of other outrages.

In the evening, on Wednesday, a video spread on social networks in which people with weapons and military uniforms say that they “nobody needs” and that they are kept “in bestial conditions”. According to them, they left the train in the Belgorod region, there are about 500 of them. Who these people are not known for certain - probably mobilized. Radio journalist Freedom Mark Krutov considers the author of the Video Muscovite Sergey Surkov, who had already recorded a video about the army’s problems a week ago. At the same time, a person with the symbols of Wagner's PMC flashes in the video, and what he is doing there is not clear.

This PMC itself and its owner do not have official status, Peskov called Prigozhin "a citizen of Russia who is sick of his soul and makes a feasible contribution." In recent days, the owner of the PMC Wagner, along with the head of Chechnya, sharply criticized the Ministry of Defense. After that, Kadyrov was awarded the title of Colonel General, now he is the same title with the main object of his criticism, General Lapin. This probably should indicate his ambitions that go beyond the borders of Chechnya (how the Kadyrov clan controls the republic, read here ).

The Moscow mayor signed a decree on the support of family families: their children will be enrolled in kindergarten and feed for free up to 18 years. In not so rich regions, it is more and more difficult: in Mari El, small business representatives offer a reservation in exchange for a percentage of circulation, which supposedly goes to the needs of the army, and in Kaluga they canceled the celebration of the New Year, because the money needs money.

Against the backdrop of sudden mobilization, there is an unprecedented increase in household corruption - Ilya Shumanov, general director of the Russian representative office of the anti -corruption international organization Transparency International, is about this . Example: an employee of the military registration and enlistment office was arrested in Ufa, who enrolled the son of a local resident in the reserve for a bribe. The military sector was deeply corrupted long before the war: Radio Freedom journalists tried to find out where and where the nuclear train went from, which excited the Western press last weekend, but in the military unit associated with this train, not nuclear weapons were found, but a rich history of theft, and read this detective .

The first criminal case in Russia for evasion of mobilization, and under an article that applies only to the conscripts, brought a resident of Penza. The defendant refused to sign the summons to the military enlistment office. For people who fell into such circumstances, the former director of the St. Petersburg “Overnight” Grigory Sverdlin founded the information project “Go Forest”, and it is very popular.

Russian weekdays

• In different regions of Russia, searches were held by members of the movement in defense of voters' rights “Voice”. In Moscow, they even came to electoral analytics by Sergei Spilkin, although he is abroad. After the search, the coordinator of the “vote” of Vladimir Egorov was beaten and detained according to the administrative article on the disobedience of the police. He has a suspicion of a concussion, but refused to hospitalize it. The searches were carried out as part of the criminal case of an activist from Ivanovo Mikhail Gusev, who is suspected of “discrediting” the Russian army.
• In Kazan, the court sent a schoolgirl under house arrest, suspected of arson of the military enlistment office. Before that, she spent two days in the IVS.
• In Vladivostok, a local resident was detained , who chained himself to a fence and shouted at the Megaphone “Stop the War!”, And against another local resident they opened a criminal case on “justification of terrorism” for sending a picture with the image of Molotov cocktail to 80 telegram chat.
• In St. Petersburg, as part of the criminal case on “telephone terrorism” arising at the beginning of the war, searches were searched by two femo activists; In Pskov, in a criminal case of “discrediting” the army searched the deputy of the Zavelichenskaya volost from the Yabloko party Nikolai Kuzmin.
• The Basmanny Court of Moscow did not arrest the former Channel One editor Marina Ovsyannikov in absentia (on formal grounds), and she herself wrote in Telegram that she would not observe the conditions of house arrest, because she did not see guilt. But Ilya Yashin was charged with a final charge under an article on Fakes about the Russian army.
• The court in the Crimea annexed by Russia sent the Crimean Tatar activist Enver Krosh to a psychiatric hospital for examination; In the Krasnodar Territory, after a powerful pressure of the authorities, activist Andrei Garyaev committed suicide , who was fighting for the closure of an illegal landfill.
• In Kamchatka, the last native speaker in Russia died . He was 86 years old.

International Echo of War

• OPEC+ countries at a ministerial meeting in Vienna agreed to reduce oil production by two million barrels per day since November. This will lead to an increase in oil prices, but it will not be catastrophic, because the reduction is small. It is believed that in this way Russia is trying to fight with a ceiling of prices for its oil, which the EU and the G7 countries will soon introduce, and Saudi Arabia went towards Moscow.
• The Russian ambassador was called to the Foreign Ministry of Kazakhstan in connection with the next boorish commentary of Maria Zakharova. Russia announced Persona Non a temporary attorney in Lithuania’s affairs and froze the activities of the Baltrushaitis house - the cultural representative office of Lithuania (this is the answer to the similar step of Vilnius).
• Finland will begin to build a wall on the border with Russia this year; France somewhat uncertainly announced the readiness to give visas to Russian dissidents.
• Against this background, the Czech Republic “restored” historical justice and “annexed” the Kaliningrad region. This is a joke that the whole country has been supporting and developing on social networks for several days. The authorities of the republic declare the start of the construction of critical infrastructure - the Beer Stream brewer, and national railways advertise tours to the Kralovetsky Territory. (Kralovets is the Czech name of Königsberg, founded in 1255 by the Czech king Przemloye Otakar II.) If without jokes, then the Czech Republic approved a new package of military assistance to Ukraine, but what is included in it is not revealed.
• In Ukraine, against the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada from the pro -Russian Party of the OPZH Renat Kuzmin, a suspicion of Gosizman was put forward , and in Belarus, the song “Ocean Elsa” at the street concert, a criminal case of a “gross violation of order” at the street concert.

Six links

• Fresh diaries. The Moscow Diary of Kirill Kutalov (after the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, the writer left Russia to Turkey, and returned for several weeks in the summer). Or a diary from the “special operation” zone : a military correspondent located at the front, anonymously tells how the pseudo -referendum on joining Russia was held in Donetsk.
• The thirties. A fragment from the book of Yevgeny Dobrenko and Natalia Johnsson-Skradol “Gossmech: Stalinism and Comic” (Publishing House of UFO), telling about the murderous power of the Soviet feuilleton at the turn of the 1920-1930s. Or an excerpt from the book “Ariadne Efron: the told life” (Boslen Publishing House)-meetings of the stories of the daughter of Marina Tsvetaeva, recorded by philologist Elena Korkina in 1970-1973.
• History of art. Female rage in art is a brief story from Caravaggio to “Basic Instinct”. Or the story of the art critic Sophia Baghdasarova about the false iconography of the bloody countess Erzhebet Batori.

Sincerely yours,
Seven forty
